Why Not Kuechly To Tampa?

I know normally MLBs don't go top five unless they're "blue chip", but, why does it seem like a lock in every mock that I read that they'll draft Claiborne? I know he'll be BPA there, but it doesn't fill a huge need. Eric Wright, Aqib(pending), and Ronde is a lot invested in CB, while they have trash bags at MLB.

Why is there no hype that the draft will look like this?

1. IND-Luck

2. WAS- Griffin

3. MIN- Kalil

4. CLE- Richardson

5. TB- Kuechly

6. STL- Blackmon

7. JAX- Floyd/Ingram/Coples

8. MIA- Tannehill

9. Car- Claiborne.

You have to put %7Boption%7D brackets and a full URL. It's 2012 dude learn computers.

I think he did it on purpose showing how little he cares for this thread. The message was still clear but with 90% less effort of finding a link.

Richardson will almost single handedly fix their offense. Blount has gotten to the point he tips off literally almost every play. Plus, Richardson is a beast on top of being the diverse RB they need. Richardson's impact IMO could be bigger than anyone in this draft. Normally, I am not a fan of drafting RBs high.....but it is almost scary how much he could aid the offense.

Plus, they have no CBs in the NFCS.....so again, Claiborne is easily a better choice

I hope for our sake....they get Claiborne

in the above mock, Richardson is off the board when they pick.

It would be nice if we didn't have to play Richardson, we have enough trouble stopping the run..

I would love for them to take Kuechely because I would feel much more comfortable thinking we will walk away with a good DL prospect that way. :P

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
